Bizarre but true stories about real people collected by syndicated columnist Chuck Shepherd.
Ismael Velasquez, 47, was convicted of drug possession in Round Rock, Texas, in September because he failed at flushing his baggie of cocaine down the toilet of a Shell station; police attributed their evidence-recovery success to the station’s new, low-flow toilet, which caused the baggie just to swirl around.
Among the latest citizens to (as per the First Amendment) “peaceably assemble” and “petition government for a redress of grievances” were “hundreds” of sex offenders who gathered in September in Palm Bay, Fla., to protest the town’s severe restrictions on where they can live and travel.
